Each girl learned a lot about their family tree, found out by searching through family and history books. Canada one of worst global warming villains Continued from page 5 per the has Emirates are larger than our 4.5 tons capita per year! So one might ask why, when scientific community of the world reached consensus on the steps necessary to protect the Earth’s atmosphere, does a wealthy country hke Canada say “forget it”? Why would Canada’s media give so little attention to such an important issue? The only answer I can come up with is that certain key sectors feel threatened. The forest industry (Canada’s largest industry, employer and source of balance of trade) know that recent scientific discoveries have concluded that northern temperate forests are a vital carbon sink. 143 countries concluded at the World Climate Conference that all countries must reduce the rate of deforestation. With 10 per cent of the world's forests, Canada’s lumber and pulp Barons do not want that discussed, let alone debated in Canada! The fossil fuel sector, primarily located in Western Canada know that the best reductions in Carbon Dioxide come from Conservation, Energy Efficiency, and Fuel Switching. Each and every one of these is seen as a threat to the profits of the pump-it-out, dig-it-up, sell-it-cheap men­ tality of Canada’s fossil fuel Barons. Did you know; or for that matter has it ever been discussed in Canada’s media; that the burning of one gallon of gasoline (weight about eight pounds) releases 20 pounds of Carbon Dioxide? It takes a large healthy tree a whole year to remove 20 pounds of carbon back out of the atmo­ sphere! It requires about two acres of healthy natural forest to remove the CO2 release of each Canadian (4.5 tons/year). The connection is clear. Canada’s most powerful and well connected resource-con­ suming industries are threatened on their bottom line. They are frightened at the prospects of change. I am ashamed of Canada’s media for not covering this issue. Is the cross-industry ownership and lobbying so strong that this issue deserves no coverage? Global Warming is real. It is more of a threat than nuclear war. So far it is silent. The World Community listened last week to the pleas of the tiny Island Nations that will cease to exist with a one meter sea rise. If Canada’s media had covered the Conference, Global Warming would be headline news. Survival matters more than “Business as Usual”. We must cut our Carbon Dioxide emissions and Canadians deserve to know why. Jim Fulton M.P. Skeena SALES CAREER OPPORTUNITY We require a reliable self-motivated.

Judge buys mistaken identity defence A defence of mistaken identity won a Monkton-area man a not guilty verdict on a charge of driving while his licence was suspended in Wingham Provincial Court Wed­ nesday. William Baillie, 58, RR 1, Monk­ ton had been charged with driving while his licence was suspended but he claimed that while he was behind the wheel of the car when police stopped him, he had not been driving when the car had been on the public road. The charge had been laid by Constable Frederick Annett of the Listowel Detachment of the O.P.P. in an incident in Grey Township just off the Elma-Grey Township line. He observed a station wagon and said he knew the driver to be Mr. Baillie. He hadn’t stopped the vehicle at the time, however, because he kept driving south on the road where he stopped and questioned a hunter who he thought might also be driving while prohibited. He then spoke to another man. He turned around and went north again and said he saw the station wagon turn west on the 14th concession of Grey. He said he followed the car and saw it turn into a Grey Twp. farm yard. The car was parked near the barn when he arrived and Mr. Baillie was at the wheel. But Mr. Baillie’s younger broth­ er John claimed that it was he who was at the wheel, alone in the car, when the officer spotted the vehicle on the highway. He had been returning to his nephew’s farm after going hunting. As he drove toward the farm the officer was not in sight, he said. John Baillie said he had stopped by the house and ran in to use the bathroom. He told his brother to take the car down to the barn and load up a hound and they would go back out hunting when he return­ ed. William Baillie said he and his wife had been driven to Listowel earlier in the day by his brother. Then John Baillie had driven his brother to his son Lloyd’s farm so he could help repair a silo unload­ er. He had finished the work and was going back to the house when his brother arrived with the car and asked him to drive it to the barn to car the ar- Liz age be- get the dog. He had taken the down and turned it around by barn when Constable Annett rived. Despite Crown Attorney Maguire’s attempts to show and appearance differences tween the two brothers Judge R.G.E. Hunter said there was reasonable doubt in his mind as to whether it was John or William Baillie who had been driving the vehicle on the road and he dismiss­ ed the charge. Wish list filled quickly Continued from page 1 $133,000 for park improvements. “It’s great to see they’re this confident,” Councillor Steven Sparling said. “I think the washroom is an excellent idea for everyone,” Councillor Dave Lee said, wonder­ ing that since the Threshers hoped for the participation of another group in the building, what the next step was. Also on the wish list is a $35,000 project to improve ball park light­ ing at the “arena diamond’’ spear­ headed by the Women’s Fastball Team. The group, which has so far raised $2,500 toward the work, had approached council earlier in the autumn to seek council’s support. Groups involved with the Com­ munity Centre agreed the most pressing need at the facility is the sandblasting and repainting of the steel beams over the ice surface to remove the rust on them. The estimate of the cost is $40,000. The Public Utilities would like $100,000 of the money to help with needed repairs of water and hydro facilities along main street when the street torn up during Highway 4 reconstruction in 1993. Council hasn’t even put its own ideas on paper of what projects it would like to undertake if the grant came through. CALL CITIZEN CLASSI Fl ED AT 523-4792 OR 887-9114 24 HOURS A DAY
